Super 8 Motel Ft Stockton Fort Stockton

... a tiny town called Fredericksburg. All German, all the time. We didn&#8217;t stop there but we did start seeing signs for fresh peaches. We found a great roadside stand, bought some peaches and some peach ice cream because ten pounds of meat wasn&#8217;t enough, and continued on our journey.<br><br>Let&#8217;s talk a little about the requirements of these smaller Texas towns:<br><br>-a KFC/Taco Bell combo restaurant<br><br>-everything is closed and rundown<br><br>-One ...

A follow-up from yesterday. .I met a lot of people at the hotel last night over dinner, so a group of us went out for a drink and to watch some local guitar players with a solo singer. They were amazing. Around the table were 1) Canadian male from near Barrie who owns his own landscaping company and travels in warm places every year for four months 2) Dutch lady, who is an independent teacher who travels all over the world for four months of the year 3) German student who is ...

... plant owned by Oliver and was allowed inside to see what they were doing. There is sure a lot of hand work to sort the good from the bad. I was told that the proper way to say pecan is "Pawcan", not "peecan". I had breakfast at the famous Little Kitchen where I enjoyed a sausage and eggs taco. The owner was a ninety pound lady who has been running this small little restaurant for sixteen years. The speed limit was 80 miles per hour which is more ...

... to Mexico and just a few miles down the road from the US Border Patrol checkpoint; - A beautiful butterfly which probably kept us company from Mission to Del Rio, and quickly escaped through the window I opened, after kissing me on the cheek... Ahhh those Canadian butterflies...

... We found out later, at a rest stop, that they were meeting another Porsche Club for a rally. Great fun, and beautiful cars. We turned South mid-morning, and headed across New Mexico for Texas. Outside a little town in New Mexico, we let Ken out to do his business, and he came back with a new friend (See picture - Ken's new ...

Fort Stockton is on the range area in the western portion of Texas. It appears to be mainly a stopover for RVers with many pulling in at dusk and then leaving the next morning. This is what we intend to do as well. However, before we left Florida, we won a Sotheby's wine encyclopedia that lists all of the great wineries of the world by region. In addition to the various ...

Well today was interesting. As usual my idea of getting off early didnt happen. When I was fianlly able to pack the car up with all our stuff (granted, I know that my bag of skate gear, maybe wasnt necessary, but it was a necessary evil) and I went to start the car and it was dead. You heard me!! DEAD. Seems the kids - while as good as they were in cleaning out my ...

Carlsbad Caverns to Fort Stockton is an area that would be better navigated by autopilot! Actually the road was fine but the view.....yuck! And the cross-wind was brutal. Granted, it is late-winter/early-spring when weather is often an issue and vegetation is dormant so maybe the landscape and weather has greater appeal at other times of the year. Yeah, right! We stayed at a bright spot on the horizon...Fort Stockton RV Park, with friendly ...

After the fun times in San Antonio and visiting the Alamo (which only reminds me of PeeWee Hermans Big Adventure and finding his bike in the basement) We were back in the car to trek across the rest of the width of Texas...along the way we took a bunch of pictures of the landscape and sunset. We got to Fort Stockton around 8:00pm and found the Cheapest hotel around which was the lovely Budget Inn. We pulled up to our room ...

... road. Our cell phones no longer in service, (aren't we smart!) we waited....for awhile. Finally, officer Pietro of the TX highway patrol rolled up behind the bus. Lucky for us, the Texas highway patrol is more understanding about this sort of thing. After running our plates, checking our IDs and searching Paul for weapons - Officer Pietro drove us to the next exit and back to the car with a gas can. We are in Laredo now, hoping to cross the border today. Last ...
